This really is a wine that could make people think seriously and differently about Tannat and open it up to whole new horizons. Although capable of ageing over 7 – 10 years, it is also so good now. “What a beautiful nose – clean aromatic, violets and floral notes with spice, fig and rose petals.

Gabriel Pisano is one of the most promising young winemakers in Uruguay today. Happy to break the rules and try new techniques and varieties, the result is some excellent wines. His experimentation with sparkling Tannat is now a permanent wine in the Pisano portfolio, and his open barrel fermentation method for Tannat (and his icon wine Sueños de Elisa) is being adapted by many other winemakers around the country. Viña Progreso is certainly one to watch.
